Hypocaccini
Hypocaccini is a tribe of clown beetles (Histeridae: Saprininae) distributed across the Arabo-Saharan region. Members include psammophilous genera such as Hypocaccus, Exaesiopus, and Neopachylopus, which are adapted to sandy coastal habitats. Recent taxonomic work has described new species from the Arabian Peninsula and Algerian Sahara, expanding the known diversity of this group.
